[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, DC is a city. It is a single urban area with no suburb, being compared to full states.

If you compare DC to other major cities, it is different.

Not saying DC is doing great by all of its students (some yes, for sure), but the chart you are citing is useless.[/quote]

Functionally, most of DC us a large suburb. There is no difference between palisades or CCDC or any other upper NW neighborhood and the inner suburbs of any city. [/quote]

No it’s not, lol. Like the other response said, most cities have pockets of higher SES neighborhoods. This is a normal urban landscape. Just because the Palisades or Chevy Chase is a mostly residential middle-to-upper class neighborhood does not make it equivalent or comparable to a suburb. It cracks me up when people call areas like north Arlington the suburbs. Why is this word so abused?? For that matter, reaidential neighborhoods that may be orbiting or part of a small town are also not suburban as there is no urban center for them to be sub to. These are all different types of communities with different demographics, political landscapes, governance,  in-migration/out-migration and immigration all look different and have different patterns, characteristics, and phenomena. To conflate all of this is makes no sense. [/quote]
